Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 340/486,909/771
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 340,909
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 340,909 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 486,771 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 486,771 is 124902 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 340,909
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

Factors of 909
List of positive integer factors of 909 that divides 909 without a remainder.
1,3,9,101,303,909
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 340,909 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 340,909 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 486,771
3 | 486, 771 |
162, 257 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 162 x 257 = 124902
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/124902
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 340/486,909/771 is 1/124902
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 486,771 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,771) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,771) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(486,771) = ( 486 × 771 ) / 3
LCM(486,771) = 374706 / 3
LCM(486,771) = 124902
